and insanity. When . person has

the exact explanation has yet to be

children of the same unsound father
or mother do not su1fer in the same

under the same conditions, have not

DIR. Monin, = French physician,
has grubbsd up some fossil facts
about intemperance. In Athens, he
SAYS, Solon doomed the drunken Ar

ordered the vines rooted ups. At
Mitylene, Pittacus put two penalties
on crimes committed by men In
liquor, one for the crime, the other
for the drunkenness. In Republican

AT THE TABERNACLE.
Apostle Grant Occupies the Time
on Sunday Afternoon.

At the Tabernacle on Sunday after
noon, Apostle H. J. Grant was the
speaker. He said, during the course OF
his remarks, that he had travelled coz
siderably among the people of the Ter
ritory, and found them DESTROYS OF
knowing the mind and will of God and
living in accordance Herewith. He
had noted a marked disposition to i'm
| prove, and an increase in faith was
manifest on all hands. 1t had been
foretold by the enemies OF the Mormon
people, Apostle Grant continued, at the
death of each leader that Mormonlsm
would die out, but this had been shown
to be false prediction, and had also
been instrumental in giving the Slints
additional faith in the work A which
they kleW Col was the prime mover
aud head. Many on the outside
entertained tie belief that the Latter
day Saints did not believe in the Bible,
but the speaker testified that there was
no sect which more faithfully followed
the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Saints believe IN, practice and
preach faith in the Lord, baptism for
the remission of sins and the laying on
of hands for the reception of the Holy
Ghost, and all these are doctrines ad-
vocated by the Savior and His apostles.
The eminent divine, Henry Ward
| Beecher, acknowledged at one time that
the Latter-day Saints followed the
Scriptural teachings more nearly than
any other body of religionists. The
Saints also believed in and practiced the
nrHinonooc tho ColUo nf tho
dead, as we'll as for the living. Apostle
Grant sketched the work for dead
kindred and ancestors being done by
| the Saints in the temples which
| have been erected in various parts OF
the Territory, and quoted from q vision
of Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon,
| showing the condition Of the dead and
| the various degrees of glory, and ex-
| planned IN this connection that Jesus
came into the world to save all man.
kind, and that all, save the sons of per-
ditioD, would be saved in one condition
or another. He quoted further, from
the same vision, 10 show the rewards
which the faithful would inherit, and
stated that though many might escape
punishment for their misdeeds in this
life, they would certainly receive JUS
tice in the hereafter.
Elder Grant bore strong testimony to
the effect that no one could continue to
violate the commandments of God and
gain glory in the celestial world.
The meek, the pure and the
humble would be the only ones
saved and exalted in Gods kingdom.
The Almighty knows the desires in the
hearts OF all His children, the speaker
continued. and all should entertain
pure thoughts and work righteousness
at all times. He counseled the obsery
ance OF the Word of Wisdom, and as
sured those who did so should eniov
health, that they should find hidden
treasures OF knowledge, and that the
destroyer should pass them by. He
closed his remarks by earnestly exhort-
ing the Saints to live better lives and
secure the appreciation of heaven.

Past Week.
ORE AND BULLION RECEIPTS.
Ogden DiYidepd-Uta Central Cou-
pom Day-TabIe Of F1uc-
tuations.

The usual calm that follows the
holidays has been observable during
the past week, and yesterday was q
much quieter Saturday than has been
seen for long time past.
During the week the directors of the
First National Bank of Ogden declared
the usual semi-annual dividend of 5 per
cent on the capital stock. 100000, and
carried $1,000 to the reserve fund, which
now amounts to $4,000.
On January LIST the semi-annual pay
ments of interest on the Utah Southern
and Utah Southern Extension bonds
were made in New York. This dis
bursement required a check from the
Utah Central for the neat little
sum of $40 900, per cent. on 81, 00O, 900
Utah Southern, and 81 per cent. on
81 100000 Extensions. Previous to the
clipping of the coupons Extension had
risen to S88. After that interesting per-
Torrance they fell back to 83k, though
why they should have declined any
more than the amount of the coupon
it is difficult to understand.
Special kilograms to Bradstreet's indi-
cate the general trade in wholesale
lines declined still further during the
closing week of 1886. This was to lie
expected with holidays, annual stock
taking and examinations of accounts
attracting special attention. Twenty
five leading distributing points almost
uniformally characterize the movement
of.merchandise as quiet, but in nearly
every instance confidence is expressHd

after. Inquiry at Boston, New York
Nashville, st. Louis and st. Joseph brings |
out the statement mat the years bust |
t LesI IL 81 staple lines exceeds like |
WA :, in 1885. This, it will be under |
stood, is the result of the moderate re-
vival, which only began to be visible
four months ago. The Boston money
market is more stringent than last |
week, but contrasts in this respect with |
most others. Mercantile collections are |
fairly satisfactory in nearly |
all directions. The interior demand |
for funds at Chicago and Milwaukee |
has declined. There has been decided |
check to speculation in some lines.
although there has been considerable |
in prices.
The earnings of the D. & R. G. for
The third week in December were $780,
100, as against S113,847 for the same
period in 1885.
